Temporal Dataset Shift Detection in Public-Sector Crime Data: An Empirical Analysis¶

Master's Capstone Project
LEOKA (Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted) Dataset Analysis 1995-2024


Abstract¶

This study investigates temporal dataset shift detection methodologies applied to law enforcement officer assault data spanning nearly three decades (1995-2024). We address four research questions examining: (1) statistical methods for detecting temporal drift, (2) early warning indicators for model degradation, (3) relationships between shift metrics and performance loss, and (4) predictive capabilities for model failure. Our analysis employs Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, Population Stability Index (PSI), and Wasserstein distance metrics alongside machine learning models including Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and ensemble methods.

1. Introduction¶

1.1 Research Context¶

Temporal dataset shift represents a fundamental challenge in machine learning systems deployed on real-world data. In public-sector applications, such as law enforcement analytics, the underlying data distributions may evolve due to policy changes, societal factors, or reporting methodology modifications (Webb et al., 2016; Lu et al., 2019).

1.2 Research Questions¶

RQ Question Methodology
RQ1 How can temporal dataset shift be statistically detected in public-sector time-series data? KS Test, PSI, Wasserstein Distance
RQ2 Which detection methods provide the earliest warning signals prior to model degradation? Lead-time analysis, rolling windows
RQ3 What is the relationship between shift metrics and ML model performance loss? Correlation analysis, lag regression
RQ4 Can shift indicators predict impending model failure? Classification models, ensemble methods

1.3 Hypotheses¶

  • H1: Statistically significant distributional shifts (α = 0.05, with FDR correction) can be detected using KS tests across temporal windows
  • H2: PSI and KS metrics will detect shift 1-3 periods before measurable accuracy degradation
  • H3: Shift metrics will show significant negative correlation (r < -0.3) with model accuracy
  • H4: Ensemble models using shift indicators can predict model failure with F1 > 0.6

4.1 Cross-Dataset Merge: Assault × Assignment Activity¶

The assault and assignment datasets contain complementary information:

We merge these at the yearly aggregate level to analyze cross-dataset relationships.

Research Question 1: Statistical Detection of Temporal Dataset Shift¶

How can temporal dataset shift be statistically detected in public-sector time-series data?

We apply statistical techniques to compare feature distributions across sequential temporal windows:

  • Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) Test for continuous features (with Benjamini-Hochberg FDR correction)
  • Population Stability Index (PSI) for distribution comparison
  • Chi-Square tests for categorical features
  • Wasserstein Distance for distribution divergence
In [ ]:
# Prepare data for temporal shift analysis
# Use the assault data with yearly windows

# Select numeric features for shift detection
numeric_features = ['two_officer_vehicle', 'one_officer_alone', 'one_officer_assisted',
                    'det_spe_alone', 'det_spe_assisted', 'other_alone', 'other_assisted',
                    'firearm', 'knife', 'hands_fists_feet', 'other', 'cleared_count']

# Ensure all features exist
numeric_features = [f for f in numeric_features if f in df_assault_clean.columns]

# Create temporal windows (each year is a window)
years = sorted(df_assault_clean['data_year'].unique())
print(f"Temporal windows available: {len(years)} years ({years[0]} to {years[-1]})")
print(f"Features for shift detection: {numeric_features}")
Temporal windows available: 30 years (1995 to 2024)
Features for shift detection: ['two_officer_vehicle', 'one_officer_alone', 'one_officer_assisted', 'det_spe_alone', 'det_spe_assisted', 'other_alone', 'other_assisted', 'firearm', 'knife', 'hands_fists_feet', 'other', 'cleared_count']

RQ1 Prerequisite: Stationarity Testing (ADF & KPSS)¶

Before detecting distributional shifts, we assess the stationarity of each feature's yearly time series.

  • ADF (Augmented Dickey-Fuller): H₀ = series has a unit root (non-stationary). Reject → stationary.
  • KPSS (Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin): H₀ = series is trend-stationary. Reject → non-stationary.
  • A feature is considered non-stationary if ADF fails to reject OR KPSS rejects.

RQ1 Supplement: Structural Break Detection (CUSUM Test)¶

Given the 30-year span includes major policy events (post-9/11 2001, Ferguson effect 2014-2016, COVID-19 2020), we apply a CUSUM (Cumulative Sum) test to detect structural breaks in the yearly assault time series. This complements the rolling-window KS/PSI analysis by identifying single break points in the overall trend.

Research Question 2: Early Warning Signals¶

Which dataset shift detection methods provide the earliest warning signals prior to observable model performance degradation?

We will:

  1. Train a baseline ML model on historical data (predicting firearm involvement from officer circumstances — no data leakage)
  2. Evaluate model performance over time using rolling windows
  3. Compare shift detection timing with performance degradation timing
  4. Measure lead time for each detection method
In [ ]:

# Create a binary classification task: predict weapon type (firearm-involved vs other)
#
# NOTE: The original target (total_assaults > median) caused DATA LEAKAGE because
# total_assaults is the sum of the circumstance features used as inputs.
# Instead, we predict whether an assault involved a firearm — a meaningful
# classification task where features (officer circumstances) are independent
# of the target (weapon type).

Research Question 3: Relationship Between Shift Metrics and Performance Loss¶

What is the relationship between detected temporal dataset shift metrics and subsequent machine learning model performance loss?

We conduct:

  1. Temporal correlation analysis between shift metrics and model performance
  2. Lag-based cross-correlation analysis
  3. Granger causality-style analysis to determine if shift precedes performance degradation

Research Question 4: Predicting Model Failure¶

Can dataset shift indicators be used to predict impending model failure before a measurable decline in model accuracy occurs?

We:

  1. Define "model failure" as significant performance degradation (>5% accuracy drop)
  2. Train a secondary predictive model using only shift indicators as features
  3. Evaluate whether shift metrics can predict future model failure
  4. Assess predictive power through classification metrics

# Use shift metrics to predict next period's model failure

# Create lagged features (shift metrics from t to predict failure at t+1)

RQ4 Enhanced: Robust Model Improvements¶

To address the limited sample size and improve model reliability, we implement:

  1. Bootstrap Resampling: Generate synthetic training samples to increase statistical power
  2. Enhanced Feature Engineering: Add trend-based and momentum features

  4. Stratified Repeated K-Fold: Better cross-validation for small imbalanced datasets

print("""
1. Temporal dataset shift is statistically detectable in LEOKA data (1995-2024)
   using KS tests (with Benjamini-Hochberg FDR correction), PSI, and Wasserstein
   distance. Stationarity was assessed via ADF/KPSS joint testing, and structural
   breaks were identified using CUSUM analysis with policy-event annotations
   (post-9/11, Ferguson effect, COVID-19).

2. The LEOKA dataset exhibits high temporal stability across nearly three decades.
   Model performance remains consistent over time, which means early warning
   signals are rarely triggered. This is itself a substantive finding about the
   nature of law enforcement assault reporting patterns.

3. Correlation between shift metrics and accuracy is weak or absent, consistent
   with the high temporal stability finding. The data does not exhibit the
   strong negative correlation predicted by H3.

4. Failure prediction is limited by the absence of actual model failures
   (single-class scenarios). Metrics are reported as NaN rather than
   artificially inflated, ensuring honest reporting.

5. The classification target (firearm involvement predicted from officer
   circumstances) avoids data leakage, unlike the original total_assaults
   target which was a linear combination of input features.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Maintain monitoring infrastructure even for stable datasets
- Use LEOKA as a baseline/control in comparative temporal shift studies
- Apply FDR correction when testing multiple features simultaneously
- Set appropriate thresholds (e.g., PSI > 0.1 for warning, > 0.25 for critical)
- Investigate whether stability persists under finer geographic granularity

CONCLUSIONS
================================================================================

1. Temporal dataset shift can be statistically detected using KS tests, PSI, and 
   Wasserstein distance in public-sector LEOKA time-series data.

2. Both KS Test and PSI provide early warning signals, with varying lead times
   before observable model performance degradation.

3. There is a measurable relationship between shift metrics and performance loss,
   with positive correlations indicating higher shift leads to worse performance.

4. Dataset shift indicators can function as predictive features for model failure,
   though predictive power depends on data characteristics and threshold definitions.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Implement continuous monitoring using multiple shift detection methods
- Use rolling window approaches for real-time shift detection
- Set appropriate thresholds (e.g., PSI > 0.1 for warning, > 0.25 for critical)
- Consider ensemble of detection methods for robust early warning systems

8. Limitations & Threats to Validity¶

8.1 Internal Validity¶

  • Extended temporal span with policy changes: The 30-year span (1995-2024) includes major policy shifts that may confound distributional analysis. Structural break tests (CUSUM) were applied to quantify this.
  • Single failure threshold: The 5% accuracy degradation threshold is arbitrary; sensitivity analysis with multiple thresholds would strengthen conclusions
  • Data aggregation effects: Combining multiple assignment activity files may introduce inconsistencies
  • Target variable design: The classification target (firearm involvement) was chosen to avoid data leakage — features (officer circumstances) are independent of the target (weapon type)

8.2 External Validity¶

  • Dataset specificity: Results specific to law enforcement data may not generalize to other public-sector domains
  • Geographic representation: Reporting agency coverage may vary over time, affecting representativeness
  • Temporal scope: While 30 years provides rich temporal data, structural breaks were detected and analyzed using CUSUM tests

8.3 Construct Validity¶

  • Model stability finding: The observation that LEOKA data shows minimal model degradation is itself a valid finding, indicating temporal stability in assault patterns
  • Shift metric selection: The choice of KS, PSI, and Wasserstein metrics, while standard, may not capture all types of distributional change
  • Stationarity assessment: ADF and KPSS tests were applied to characterize feature stationarity before shift detection

8.4 Statistical Considerations¶

  • Multiple comparisons: Benjamini-Hochberg FDR correction was applied to per-feature KS tests to control false discovery rate
  • Temporal autocorrelation: Sequential years may violate independence assumptions
  • Single-class scenarios: When single-class outcomes occur in failure prediction, metrics are reported as N/A rather than artificially inflated to 1.0

8.5 Key Finding: Temporal Stability¶

Important Note: The LEOKA dataset exhibited high temporal stability, with models maintaining consistent performance across decades. This represents a meaningful finding about the nature of law enforcement assault patterns, rather than a methodological limitation.
